The new sleek Supernova being built in Derby (UK) by the Hartley Boats team is now beautifully built in epoxy and weighs in at just 50kg making the Supernova one of the fastest and best performing single-handed dinghies you can sail without the added complications of wings or trapeze wires. The Supernova combines a sporty performance that can be sailed with exceptional ease, style and comfort. The high boom position enables the daggerboard to be raised almost fully for easier launching and recovery. The mainsheet is sheeted from the centre of the cockpit directly to the mid-boom position so it doesn't catch on the transom which is a particular advantage, especially when gybing downwind. The cockpit is large and open-ended so itself drains and eliminates water almost instantly and enables getting back in the boat easily, the high boom is a distinct advantage for taller sailors and those who prefer not to get a bump on the head.

Though powerful, the superb mylar sail coupled with a light sealed mast is challenging but quite manageable for most helms in almost all wind conditions. A reduced size soft sail option is available for lighter helms or those wishing to sail in exceptionally heavy winds. The Supernova is suitable for average and larger sailors when racing, and can be enjoyed by one or two people for leisurely cruising. The new lightweight Supernova takes a backache out of launching and recovery and makes manoeuvering the boat on the trolley or around the dinghy park a breeze.

Experience with the boat has shown that it is equally at home on the sea and on inland waters. The daggerboard creates few problems launching or landing in shallow waters because it is possible to raise it almost completely without fouling the boom. Downwind, the Supernova is unusually stable for a single hander and this combined with little or no tendency to nose dive helps considerably in tricky conditions.
